Signs to look for

When to call us for upholstery extraction

With a crew geared up, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

The cushions are heavy and water comes out when pressed

For an always-ready response, cushion foam holds enormous amounts of water and releases it under pressure. For an always-ready response, that is a good sign, because foam that gives water back can ordinarily be extracted.

The skirt or the base is dark and wicking upward

With a crew geared up, fabric pulls water up out of the floor by wicking, which is why a piece can be soaked six inches up.

Color has transferred onto the carpet or between panels

Because we answer at any hour, dye bleed happens fast on wet fabric, especially on dark prints and velvet. For an always-ready response, once a dye has moved it ordinarily stays moved.

Yellow or tan marks are spreading on light fabric

So mobilization stays on track, that is browning, natural material in the fabric or the filling coming to the surface as it dries.

The frame flexes or creaks under normal weight

For an always-ready response, a particleboard frame swells and loses its fasteners once it is wet. With a crew geared up, movement in the frame ordinarily ends the conversation about saving that piece.

The webbing under the seat is sagging

For an always-ready response, wet webbing stretches under the weight of soaked foam and does not spring back.

What happens

How we handle upholstery extraction

Our always-ready team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Piece by piece triage against the water category

With a crew geared up, clean supply water gives most furniture a real chance.

The frame assessment that decides everything

So mobilization stays on track, a kiln dried hardwood frame with sound frame joinery is worth drying and in many cases worth a lot.

Getting furniture up and off the wet floor

With a crew geared up, every piece is blocked up on foam or plastic risers on the spot. For an always-ready response, legs standing in water keep wicking moisture up into the fabric all night.

Extraction with an upholstery tool

With a crew geared up, a hand held upholstery tool with a narrow slot pulls water from the fabric and the foam under it.

Cushions unzipped, extracted and dried separately

So mobilization stays on track, cushion covers come off where the construction allows so both faces of the foam get airflow.

Elevated drying on racks with directed airflow

For an always-ready response, pieces go up on a drying rack so air reaches the underside, the deck and the frame.

What to expect

What to expect from our always-ready team

Here is how we ordinarily handle upholstery extraction near Massachusetts.

  1. 1

    Let our standby desk know what got wet and what it means to you

    So mobilization stays on track, name the pieces, the water source, and anything that is irreplaceable to your family.

    Your call
  2. 2

    Get the legs out of the water

    Because we answer at any hour, block furniture up on anything waterproof you have, or move light pieces to a dry room.

    +5 minutes
  3. 3

    Triage on crew arrival, piece by piece

    With a crew geared up, a technician checks the frame, the filling and the fabric on each item and takes moisture meter readings.

    On arrival
  4. 4

    Extraction with the upholstery tool

    Because we answer at any hour, every saveable piece is worked with slow compressed passes until it stops giving water.

    First hours on site
  5. 5

    Pieces up on racks, air on all sides

    For an always-ready response, furniture goes on a drying rack and gear is set so air reaches the underside and the frame.

    Day 1
  6. 6

    Dye and browning treatment while the fabric is wet

    With a crew geared up, marks are treated during drying, which is the only time most of them respond.

    Day 1 to 2
  7. 7

    Readings on the foam and the frame, not the surface

    Because we answer at any hour, the fabric dries first and lies to you, so we read the filling and the frame. With a crew geared up, cushion foam in most cases needs two to four days even on a rack.

    Day 2 to 4

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

With a crew geared up, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. With a crew geared up, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Upholstery or mattress extraction, per itemNationwide cost range for clean water only. Items soaked with contaminated water are removed rather than extracted.$75 to $300
Off site cleaning and controlled drying at a plant, per upholstered pieceNationwide cost range including transport, wash floor work and drying room time. Used for heavy soil and delicate goods.$200 to $700
Area rug immersion wash and controlled drying, per square footNationwide cost range for off site rug work. Wool and hand knotted rugs sit at the top of the range.$3 to $8
Soft goods in one room, several pieces extracted and rack driedNationwide cost range covering a typical living room set, before any cleaning, foam replacement or repairs.$400 to $1,200
Cushion foam replacement, per cushionNationwide cost range for new foam cut to the existing cover. Far cheaper than replacing a sound frame.$50 to $200
Mattress and box spring set, clean water surface wetting onlyNationwide cost range for extraction and drying attempt. Anything wet deep into the layers is normally replaced instead.$100 to $300
  • Size and construction of the piece
    So mobilization stays on track, a dining chair takes minutes and a sectional takes hours.

  • Filling type
    So mobilization stays on track, high resiliency foam extracts and dries predictably.

  • Fabric type
    For an always-ready response, microfiber and synthetic weaves tolerate cleaning well. With a crew geared up, velvet, silk blends and leather need gentler methods and more careful drying.

  • Water cleanliness
    Clean water means extraction and cleaning. Appliance or drain water adds a cleaning stage, and synthetic covered pieces ordinarily come through it.

  • On site versus off site
    On location extraction and rack drying is the cheaper path and keeps your furniture at home.

  • Number of items
    Crews price a room of soft goods more efficiently than one chair at a time. Setup, gear and travel are shared across the items.

Why timing counts

What can happen when the area stays wet

For an always-ready response, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Wicking pulls water up the whole piece

For an always-ready response, a sofa with legs in water keeps drawing moisture up through the fabric and the frame.

Dye bleed sets permanently

With a crew geared up, wet dye travels between panels, onto piping and into your flooring.

Browning marks light fabric for good

So mobilization stays on track, natural material in the filling and the backing moves to the surface as a piece dries slowly.

Particleboard frames swell and lose their fasteners

Because we answer at any hour, engineered panel frames are held with staples and dowels into material that puffs when wet.

Because we answer at any hour, start with the short explanation. For an always-ready response, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Common questions

Questions about upholstery extraction

Can a soaked couch be saved?

Because we answer at any hour, in many cases yes if the water was clean and we get to it within a day. Because we answer at any hour, a solid hardwood frame is the main requirement.

How do you decide what is worth saving?

Because we answer at any hour, we look at the frame first, then the filling, then the fabric. For an always-ready response, a good frame justifies drying, foam can be replaced, and fabric can ordinarily be cleaned.

Why does furniture get put up on blocks?

With a crew geared up, legs standing in water keep wicking moisture up into the frame and fabric.

Can wet cushion foam be dried, or does it need replacing?

With a crew geared up, high resiliency foam extracts and dries well on a rack with air on both sides. Because we answer at any hour, down filling and layered cushions are much harder and in many cases hold odor.

How long does upholstery drying take?

Because we answer at any hour, cushioned pieces in most cases need two to four days on a drying rack. For an always-ready response, tight backed furniture and heavy frames run longer.

What about a mattress that got wet?

With a crew geared up, light surface wetting from clean water can sometimes be extracted and dried. With a crew geared up, water deeper than about an inch into the layers ordinarily means replacement.

Should the work happen at my house or off site?

With a crew geared up, on location extraction and rack drying is cheaper and keeps your furniture with you. With a crew geared up, an off site cleaning plant is better for heavy soil, delicate fabrics and area rug immersion washing.
